NEW YORK OFFICIAL Larry McCarthy has entered the race to succeed John Horan as the next GAA president.
Cork native has been nominated by New York, where he previously served as chairman, secretary and PRO.
In 2018, McCarthy was elected onto the GAA’s Management Committee, becoming the first official based outside Ireland or England to do so. He also sat on the Strategic Review Committee under Horan last year and previously on the Towards 150 Committee under Aogán Ó Fearghail.
McCarthy served on Central Council for three years and is currently part of the GAA’s Finance Committee.
A long-time member of the Sligo club in the Big Apple, the Bishopstown man is currently their chairman. He works as an associate professor of management at Seton Hall University in New Jersey where his speciality is in sports marketing.
“Studying sport on a day-to-day basis gives me a particular insight into the challenges and issues facing sporting organizations, especially amateur sporting organizations,” said McCarthy in a statement.
“CLG is the greatest example in the world of a community based, amateur sports organization.”
McCarthy becomes the fourth candidate to join the race, following Jerry O’Sullivan (Cork), Mick Rock (Roscommon) and Jarlath Burns (Armagh).
The election for Horan’s successor will take place at next February’s Congress.

Cork are very poor ,,!!!
When I saw the Cork team on Friday night with only 3 city players I new mass was over for the rebels this is the worst team Cork ever brought to Thurles sad.
Some dire stuff from Cork so far. Aimless balls down the field. They’ll need to improve drastically in the second half or this will be a rout
Great to see the sweeper system being destroyed early on.
That’s one poor cork team Christ above going to get throttled here today.
Early test of both teams ambition for the season. Nothing like the clash of the ash to kick off the summer.
Only this year it is starting with a whimper. Today and last night’s game both brutal.
Dire stuff from the rebels
It’s tipps year :-)
Premature to come out with that comment.
Barry Kelly is a shit ref.
Game over cork keep playing into tips hands
Cork are 11/4 in the bookies. As a Cork man I’ll take that price all day, championship hurling in Thurles, anything can happen!! Rebels Abú!!!
Never bet on your own team
Just been a pitch invasion by the Tipp supporters at the final whistle in Thurles. Where are the horse mounted police? Greyhounds even.
Cork really poor. The score is actually flattering should be down by more. Hopefully it will be a closer second half
Tipp’s full forward line is going to take some stopping of we’re going to get a result. Can never write us off in championship though, Rebels abú.
Good to see kieran Kingstons chopping and changing of the teams went so well for cork. He must be so proud…
Lots of stuff happening off the ball, ruining the flow of the game.
Cork are a big of a joke alright.
And cork lads coming on here giving out is golden. Long may it last.
What’s the longest ye have gone without an AI lads? Big 3 me hole.
Switchin over to watch Rory win the golf
Great shot from Rory there
You’re missing the comeback, three quick goals for cork
Dubai golf classic? Sounds like the Tommy Murphy cup.
As a Cork man….very disappointed. …maybe it’s a cunning plan….use the back door route to develop the team. .. ya right …will wake up from that dream soon..and come back to reality…
I never thought I would see the day when Cork hurling would hit such a low point even Kerry are putting in more professional performances.
No point having millions in the bank and no talent coming forward.
The OAP’S in county board.
we’ll need I say anymore!!!!!
